Do you need phantom power for it to work? It very much resembles a condenser mic.

Product description states dynamic. There are basically two categories of microphones used in the music industry,dynamic & condenser. Dynamic mics have magnet & coil fields that generate their own power, these have a wide range of uses. The diaphragm of a condenser microphone is a very thin film, coated on one side with gold or nickel, and mounted very close to a conductive stationary back plate. A polarizing voltage is applied to the diaphragm by an external power supply (battery or phantom power ) or by the charge on an electric material in the diaphragm or on the back-plate charging it with a fixed static voltage.

With pre-amp no need phantom power. Is a dynamic microphone, an economic option for amateur use. If you need a condenser micro, buy condenser micro.

Phantom power is the 48V power required for condenser mics like these to work. It's usually supplied by a mixer, preamp, or audio interface and carried through standard XLR cables. You'll need to check that whatever you connect these mics to provides phantom power.

I do not believe that it will power the microphone. I have never used the microphone inputs. The reviews that I read before I purchased this unit, claim that you would have to purchase a "phantom power unit" or purchase a microphone that does not require phantom power. I use my mixer as part of my tape monitor loop process to power my Bose 901's through my power amps.

You are probably right! In any event the sound was not acceptable. You may want to re-consider purchasing an external phantom powered unit to power your microphones.

Hi, this is a dynamic mic, so it doesn't need phantom power, just needs a balanced XLR cable and a place to plug it in!

No. The minimix 800 does not provide phantom power supply for condensor microphone.

It's something required for the microphone to work. Use an audio interface with phantom power on it.

I don't think phantom power will hurt this mic. I believe you do need a phantom power for this mic when you use the XLR connector. When you use the USB connector, you don't need phantom power. However, based on my experience, the USB connector on this mic performs terribly.

Yes ,that is why I bought it and it works great if you plug in a mic that doesn't require phantom power...

The microphone needs to have a power source. If you do not have a (phantom) power it will not work.

I am going to guess your mic is phantom powered? if so i would see if it says that in its description, I really am not sure otherwise

Typically Phantom power is used to power hand held/corded microphones. You willnot needor wantto usePhantom power since you will be using a microphone that has its own power.

No. This device only powers the Mic. (certain mics require phantom power). Use an M_Audio Fastract to convert your analogue signal to digital and connect to your computer.

if your mixer has +48 volt power(phantom)This mic needs +48 power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if so, you should be sweet??????????????????????

Yes, theoretically it should because it is a dynamic microphone and doesn't require phantom power. If you have the right adapter it should work, but you will pic up notice from touching the microphone since it doesn't have very shock absorbent built in. I'm pretty sure there are better options like a clip mic that wouldn't require an adapter.

This is an excellent microphone kit but you do need a pre amp for phantom power a focusrite will work to connect the mic to your computer the mic is a professional level microphone using XLR cables

Yes. All condenser mics must be supplied by phantom power at 48v at most. It's a preset of mixers, audio interfaces or preamps so that you just need to turn the switch on/off.
